As the influence of science grew and that of Christianity waned, homosexuality was transformed from sin to mental illness. Homosexuals who had been persecuted for the heretical sexuality, were then persecuted for their putative illness. Szasz uses this to illustrative the medicalization of heresy. From “The Manufacture of Madness,” by Thomas Szasz. 1970.
